What our clients say about us...

“We have been working with InTouch for the past 3 years using their SmartWater solution for cyclic gully cleansing. The system provides us with instant and easy to interpret data on the condition of our gullies in both a GIS and database format. We are now able to manage this asset with a great deal of confidence”.

Wigan Council Infrastructure Asset Group

“The introduction of the InTouch Inspection software has improved the trust we have in our contractor, we now have the tools to see daily activity of the cleaning schedule and by viewing the photographs taken, we can reduce the amount of on-site inspections of our gully assets. As a direct result of implementing this solution we have made a significant saving this year in emergency flooding callouts and look forward to working with InTouch in the future to improve our knowledge of this important asset”.
